Acknowledge inaccuracies in the White Paper on Brexit Page 1 Paragraph 4.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

65 million people in the United Kingdom did not vote for Brexit and did not chose Brexit. This Government white paper claims, "The strength and support of 65 million people willing us to make it happen", this is not happening in my name, nor my husbands nor all 4 of my childrens.
This is a perfect summation of the government insulting and completely dismissing the wishes and feelings of those who want to remain in the EU, ex pats, those in the Channel Islands, our youth and others who not get a vote.

It also ignores the wishes and feeling of Scotland and Northern Ireland neither of whom chose to leave the EU.
